On Thursday, the official cause of death for Hulk Hogan was disclosed.<\/p>\n
The athlete passed away from an acute myocardial infarction, also referred to as a heart attack, which happens when the heart\u2019s blood supply is abruptly cut off.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, it was disclosed that the legendary wrestler had been secretly battling chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a kind of illness that affects lymphocytes, which are white blood cells.<\/p>\n
According to a cremation approval report that Page Six was able to get, Hogan had previously been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, which the Mayo Clinic defines as a fast and irregular heartbeat.<\/p>\n
The legendary wrestler passed away in Florida on July 24 at the age of 71.<\/p>\n
Officially, Hogan\u2019s death was determined to be due to natural causes.<\/p>\n
The Pinellas County Forensic Science Center also gave information on his cremation, according to Page Six.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the medical examiner\u2019s office told the outlet, \u201cI\u2019m not aware of when Mr. Bollea will be cremated, only that we\u2019ve received a request for cremation approval.\u201d <\/p>\n
Hogan\u2019s official cause of death confirms reports that he felt \u201cweak\u201d and \u201cembarrassed\u201d just before passing away.<\/p>\n
Eric Bischoff, his good friend, shared details of his last-ever meeting with Hogan. Speaking on the 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff podcast, he explained, \u201cI could tell he was weak. He sounded tired.\u201d<\/p>\n
[Hogan] said, \u201cI really want to see you, but I\u2019m kind of embarrassed for you to see me this way because I\u2019ve been pretty sick When I look at you, I don\u2019t see the same thing you see when you look in the mirror, so f*** that, I\u2019ll be down Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite his health issues, Hogan\u2019s charisma was still evident in their chats.<\/p>\n
Eric shared, \u201cIt was work for him to have a conversation but he was the same guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brooke Hogan paid homage to her father and reflected on their tumultuous relationship on social media earlier this week.<\/p>\n
The 37-year-old star said on Instagram, \u201cWhen he left this earth, it felt like part of my spirit left with him. I felt it before the news even reached us. I know he\u2019s at peace now, out of pain, and in a place as beautiful as he imagined. He used to speak about this moment with such wonder and hope. Like meeting God was the greatest championship he\u2019d ever have.\u201d<\/p>\n
Additionally, Brooke used her article to \u201cclear a few things up\u201d about their distance from one another.<\/p>\n
The realty star wrote, \u201cIt was a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know, or understand. My father was confiding in me about issues weighing on his heart, both personal and business. I offered to be a life raft in whatever capacity he needed. I told him he had my support. I begged him to rest, to take care of himself.\u201d<\/p>\n
In fact, as the wrestler struggled with health issues, Brooke and her husband, Steven Olesky, became closer to him.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cWe had been through almost 25 surgeries together, and then all of a sudden he didn\u2019t want me at surgeries\u2026 Everything started getting covered in a thick veil. It was like there was a force field around him that I couldn\u2019t get through. (sic)\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
